Description

Oldham Council are looking to procure a service to provide supervised toothbrushing and oral health promotion to 3-5-year-old children, and primary age children in Special Educational Needs schools. The overall aim is to improve the oral health of young children in Oldham. Objectives • To improve oral hygiene and reduce tooth decay in the 3-5-year-old population of Oldham • Establish healthy tooth brushing habits • To help educate children on good oral health practices Currently, there are no supported supervised toothbrushing programmes in Oldham. However, Oldham Early Years setting and schools were previously engaged in a supervised toothbrushing programme and some settings may still have baseline knowledge or even self-supported programmes ongoing. The service provider is asked to implement supervised toothbrushing progammes for 3-5-year-old children in all Early Years settings, primary schools and childminding services that wish to take part, as well as all primary school aged children (4-11-years-old) in Special Educational Needs primary schools that wish to take part. The approximate size of the 3-5-year-old population in Oldham is ~9000 children. A summary of eligible settings is provided below: 153 Early Years settings 84 Primary Schools 87 Childminders 4 Special Educational Needs Primary Schools The total number of primary school aged children in SEN schools is 476. The total number of reception aged children with an education health and care plan is 142. We will work with the successful provider to share a list of eligible settings and the approximate number of eligible children within each setting. The service should implement a universal supervised toothbrushing for children in the categories listed above. The supervised toothbrushing programme should be in line with the British Dental Association recommendations for toothbrushes to be replaced every three months or when there are signs of wear. *****Please note: This is a tender notice for a PSR Competitive Process, it is not a PA23 process.*****
